Bible Note: Jibbs, What you have said here to Tim is my sentiments exactly. We have tried time and time again to show different view points of God's elect and His calling to those predestined to salvation. What alot of people don't understand is that the Father gives us the faith to believe because we can do NOTHING to gain salvation, not even have faith unless the Father reveals himself to us, because, once again, "All our works are as filthy rags." and "There is none that does good, no not one." Acts 2:37-39 "And hearing this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and to the other apostles, Men, brothers, what shall we do? Then Peter said to them, Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ to remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all those afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call." First of all, who cut their heart made of stone and put a heart of flesh within? Could God be working in their life first? And second, the promise is made to them and their children and those afar off, as many as the Lord has called. (those who have ears to hear, let them hear.) I enjoy your arguments and conversation, Jibbs. In Christ, Mike |
